My theory on culinary trends. Internet food videos, bring to life as well as instruct about the art of culinary preparation. Like surgery, kitchen arts are best learned by the: see one, do one, teach one method.

My grad school professor made the eat Rutabaga then write about the experience but not before we read the revenge scene in Jonathan Franzen's Corrections featuring... you guessed it: Rutabaga.... it was a great exercise. I've never eaten Rutabaga again and I've never forgotten that scene!

It is delicious if prepared correctly where the starch is converted to sugars. A staple in my family growing up in an Irish household and I still crave it. Please give rutabaga another try! 😅

Oh dear, did not read that book so don't know the scene. Shudder to imagine it!

It's a Franzen special on family tensions! And very clever!

You just reminded me of one of my favorite Mothers of Invention songs! “Call any vegetable and the chances are good that the vegetable will respond to you!!”……..

Question: Do people want food articles more than they want politics?

Answer: Yes. They're easier to digest.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

I'm not a big fan of either cabbage or cauliflower. I prefer Brussels Sprout. Or chocolate cover carrots.

Thank you for a welcome bit of humor to start a morning-even if I’m just now getting to read yesterday’s post! I find foodie personalities very amusing. Nutrition and practicality seldom

seem to be on their minds.

I guess I have been trendy for a while! Cabbage has been a staple in my fridge for decades, every kind of it thanks to amazing farmers I have been lucky to purchase directly from for that long. Oh boy! The recipes I could share, from fermenting to what I call ‘raw crunch nuggets’ in lots of things, to soups, stir frys, slaws, salads, sides and wraps, and best of all on authentic Baja fish tacos. It will be interesting to see the recipes coming forward and if any will surprise me with a new idea for cabbage. 🥬 😋🤣
